My husband planned to retire in December. I'm not eligible for Medicare until Aug so I planned to get an Obamacare policy. I found one in Oct that was $800/month. Now it's $2000/month.
So now my husband isn't going to retire. I hate Trump & GOP so much.

But the district court did not order the government to use the Section 32 fund until November 6. It did so after it concluded that the government had failed to comply with its October 31 TRO. As a remedy for that noncompliance, the court ordered the government to make the full payment of November SNAP benefits by November 7. Thus, even if we were to stay the second TRO, the government could not obtain the relief that it seeks unless it also meets its burden under the stay factors as to the enforcement order. For the reasons that follow, we conclude that the government has failed to meet the stay factors as to the enforcement order, and we deny a stay of that order.
In any event, the district court has now found that the government failed to comply with that October 31 TRO, from which no stay was sought and no appeal was taken that would have prevented the order from taking effect during the period of alleged noncompliance. Thus, for present purposes, the question that the government's motion to stay the enforcement order presents is this: Has the government made a strong showing that it is likely to succeed in establishing either (a) that the district court erred in finding noncompliance with the October 31 TRO or (b) that, insofar as it did not err in that regard, it could not order full funding in consequence of that noncompliance? As we have explained, the answer is no. In the single paragraph it devotes in its stay motion to addressing the enforcement order, the government does not make a strong showing of likely success in either respect. And in the only other passage of the stay motion that could be read to address the finding of noncompliance, the government fails to grapple with the actual basis for that finding.
BREAKING: The First Circuit denies DOJ’s stay request in the SNAP case, refusing to stay the Nov. 6 enforcement order.
Justice Jackson’s 48-hour clock started just before midnight Sunday, meaning the administrative stay she issued Friday ends at the end of the day Tuesday.

Just a reminder that Bovino isn't in the official leadership of CBP or USBP. He's a sector chief given the made-up title of "Commander at Large" of Border Patrol by Kristi Noem so that he could report directly to Noem instead of the official chain of command.

Trump pardoned his associates who tried to help him overturn the 2020 election.
He pardoned 1500 people who tried to violently overthrow our government on January 6th.
Trump is proving that he’ll pardon anyone for any crimes they help him commit.
Complete lawlessness.
Made me think.........

Via @ashleymurray.bsky.social: The legislation, backed by Republicans, seven Democrats and one independent, would fund food aid and restore federal jobs lost during the shutdown but does not include extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies, which Democrats had fought for.

Is the shutdown over? Not yet.
Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5.
There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House.
Pressure matters right now—especially on Kaine, Rosen, Hassan, Shaheen.
Stay loud.

Good point.
10.11.2025 01:08 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I'm looking to see not only which Senate Dem candidates oppose this surrender (all of them will) but also where they go beyond this with respect to senate leadership.
I want to see concrete promises for a new fighting Dem Party, because the current one is broken.
Politico says the cavers have won. CR in exchange for fake vote on ACA subsidies in December. Politico at least says other Dems will give them cover. We’ll see. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

In anti-abortion Republicans’ latest attack on abortion pills, Florida’s AG is suing Planned Parenthood for allegedly misrepresenting the safety of the drugs—despite the fact that more than 100 scientific studies have shown they are safe and effective.

They should stand firm until there’s a deal that can get 47 VOTES IN THE SENATE.
That’s EVERYBODY IN THE CAUCUS!!!
